Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Ary nony tonga ny Andro Pentekosta, dia teo amin’ ny fitoerana iray izy rehetra.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
Ary nisy feo tonga tampoka avy tany an-danitra, toy ny rivotra mahery mifofofofo, ka nanenika ilay trano niangonany.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Ary nisy lela maro mitarehin’ afo niseho taminy, izay nizarazara; ary nipetraka tamin’ izy rehetra isan-olona izany.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Ary samy feno ny Fanahy Masìna izy rehetra, ka dia niteny tamin’ ny fiteny maro samy hafa, araka ny nampitenenan’ ny Fanahy Masìna azy.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
Ary nisy Jiosy, mpivavaka tsara, nitoetra tany Jerosalema, avy tany amin’ ny firenena samy hafa rehetra ambanin’ ny lanitra.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Ary nony re izany feo izany, dia niangona ny olona maro ka very hevitra, fa samy nahare azy ireo niteny tamin’ ny fiteniny avy izy rehetra.
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Dia talanjona sady gaga izy rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreo, tsy Galiliana va ireo rehetra miteny ireo?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
Koa ahoana no andrenesantsika amin’ ny fitenintsika avy izay nahabe antsika
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
― dia Partiana sy Mediana sy Elamita, ary mponina any Mesopotamia, sy Jodia sy Kapadokia sy Ponto sy Asia
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
sy Frygia sy Pamfylia, sy Egypta sy ny tany Libya izay manodidina an’ i Kyrena, ary vahiny avy any Roma, na Jiosy na proselyta,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
Kretana sy Arabo ― koa ahoana no andrenesantsika ireo miteny amin’ ny fitenintsika avy ny asa lehibe ataon’ Andriamanitra?
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Dia talanjona izy rehetra ka niahanahana sady niresaka hoe: Ahoana no tokony ho hevitr’ izany?
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
Fa ny sasany nihomehy ka nanao hoe: Leon-divay mamy ireo.
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Fa nitsangana Petera sy ny iraika ambin’ ny folo lahy, dia nanandra-peo izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry lehilahy Jiosy sy izay rehetra monina eto Jerosalema, aoka ho fantatrareo izao, ka henoy ny teniko:
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Tsy mamo araka ny hevitrareo tsy akory ireo, fa vao ora fahatelo ihany izao ny andro.
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Fa izao ilay nampilazaina an’ i Joela mpaminany hoe:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
Ary amin’ ny andro farany, hoy Andriamanitra, No handatsahako ny Fanahiko amin’ ny nofo rehetra; Ary ny zanakalahinareo sy ny zanakavavinareo haminany, Ary ny zatovonareo hahita fahitana, Ary ny lahiantitrareo hanonofy;
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
Ary ny mpanompoko, na lahy na vavy, Dia handatsahako ny Fanahiko amin’ izany andro izany, Ka dia haminany izy;
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Ary hanisy fahagagana eny amin’ ny lanitra ambony Aho sy famantarana amin’ ny tany ambany, Dia rà sy afo ary zavon’ ny setroka;
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
Ny masoandro hampodina ho aizina, Ary ny volana ho rà, Alohan’ ny hahatongavan’ ny andron’ i Jehovah, Dia ilay sady lehibe no malaza;
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Ary na zovy na zovy no hiantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah dia hovonjena.
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
Ry lehilahy Isiraely, mihainoa izao teny izao: Jesosy avy any Nazareta, lehilahy nasehon’ Andriamanitra teo aminareo tamin’ ny asa lehibe sy ny fahagagana ary ny famantarana izay nampanaovin’ Andriamanitra Azy teo aminareo, tahaka ny fantatrareo ihany,
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
Izy efa natolotra araka ny saina niniana sy ny fahalalan’ Andriamanitra rahateo, dia nohomboanareo sy novonoinareo tamin’ ny tanan’ ny olona tsy tan-dalàna;
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
fa Andriamanitra nanangana Azy, rehefa nahafaka ny fanaintainan’ ny fahafatesana, satria tsy laitr’ izany hohazonina Izy.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Fa Davida milaza Azy hoe: Nijery an’ i Jehovah teo anatrehako mandrakariva aho; Satria eo ankavanako Izy, mba tsy hangozohozo aho,
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
Dia izany no nifalian’ ny foko sy niravoravoan’ ny lelako; Ny nofoko koa hitoetra amin’ ny fanantenana;
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
Fa tsy ho foinao ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny aiko; Ary tsy hamela ny Iray Masinao ho tratry ny lò Hianao; (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Nampahafantatra ahy ny lalan’ aina Hianao; Hampifaly ahy indrindra amin’ ny tavanao.
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
Ry rahalahy, aoka aho mba hilaza aminareo marimarina ny amin’ i Davida patriarka, fa efa maty izy ka nalevina koa, ary ny fasany eto amintsika mandraka androany.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
Ary satria mpaminany izy ka nahalala fa Andriamanitra efa nanao fianianana taminy fa izay hateraky ny kibony no hipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianany,
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
koa raha nahita rahateo izy, dia nilaza ny fitsanganan’ i Kristy, fa tsy nafoy ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita Izy, ary ny nofony tsy tratry ny lò. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Izany Jesosy izany dia efa natsangan’ Andriamanitra, ary vavolombelon’ izany izahay rehetra.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
Ary rehefa nasandratry ny tanana ankavanan’ Andriamanitra Izy, ary nandray tamin’ ny Ray ny Fanahy Masìna Izay nokasainy, dia efa nampilatsaka izao hitanareo sy renareo izao Izy.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Fa tsy Davida no niakatra tany an-danitra; fa hoy izy: Jehovah nilaza tamin’ ny Tompoko hoe: Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho fitoeran-tongotrao.
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
Koa aoka ho fantatry ny taranak’ isiraely rehetra marimarina fa iny Jesosy nohomboanareo tamin’ ny hazo fijaliana iny dia efa nataon’ Andriamanitra ho Tompo sy Kristy.
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Ary raha nandre izany ny olona, dia voatsindrona tam-pony ka nanao tamin’ i Petera sy ny Apostoly namany hoe: Ry rahalahy, inona no hataonay?
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Ary hoy Petera taminy: Mibebaha, ary aoka samy hatao batisa amin’ ny anaran’ i Jesosy Kristy ianareo rehetra mba hahazo famelana ny helokareo; ary ianareo handray ny fanomezana, dia ny Fanahy Masìna;
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
fa ny teny fikasana dia ho anareo sy ny zanakareo ary ho an’ izay rehetra lavitra, na iza na iza hantsoin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika hanatona Azy.
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
Ary nanambara sy nananatra azy tamin’ ny teny maro hafa koa izy ka nanao hoe: Aoka hovonjena ho afaka amin’ ity taranaka maditra ity ianareo.
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Ary izay nandray tsara ny teniny dia natao batisa; ary tokony ho telo arivo no olona nanampy ho isany tamin’ izany andro izany.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
Ary izy ireo naharitra tamin’ ny fampianaran’ ny Apostoly sy ny fiombonana sy ny famakiana ny mofo ary ny fivavahana.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Dia raiki-tahotra ny olona rehetra teo, ary fahagagana sy famantarana maro no nataon’ ny Apostoly.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Ary izay rehetra nino dia niray toerana, sady niombonany avokoa ny fananany rehetra,
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
ary namidiny ny taniny sy ny fananany ka nozarainy tamin’ izy rehetra araka izay nilainy avy.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
Ary dia niray saina isan’ andro izy ka nazoto nankeo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly ary namaky mofo tao an-trano ka nihinan-kanina tamin’ ny fifaliana sy ny fahatsaram-po,
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
nidera an’ Andriamanitra sady nahita fitia tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra. Ary ny olom-bonjena dia nanampin’ ny Tompo isan’ andro ho isan’ ireo.
